The Fruit of Surgery

Chapter 1257 Subspecies Fantasy Tree (End)

"Don't worry, there is a barrier set up by Master Abe Seimei in Kyoto. Normally powerful ghosts cannot enter. Moreover, the ox cart also has Master Abe Seimei's shikigami on it, so ordinary reincarnations are no match for it."

Regarding Mashu's worries, Sakata Kintoki smiled and said no. Nobles who can walk in Kyoto at night naturally have the means to protect themselves. In Kyoto, you basically don't see those who have no way to protect themselves, but they walk on the streets at night. It's not that such people don't exist, but that these people are basically dead. After all, Heian Jing has existed for many years.

In fact, even if they didn't take action just now, the shikigami on the ox cart were enough to defeat the ghosts encountered on the road, but since they were riding in Kiyoko's ox cart, they naturally needed help.

Then Sakata Kintoki stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon after, a servant opened the door and came out. Then Sakata Kintoki, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu, invited Fujiwara Koko. It was already late at night, and the person they wanted to see was It is also the famous Murasaki Shikibu, and only Sakata Kintoki can do it.

Fujiwara Koko is Murasaki Shikibu's real life, and Murasaki Shikibu is just her pen name for writing books. She and Kiyoko just now, that is, Kiyoshonagon, are the three talented women of this era plus another one, and they are called the Heian era.

"You should be Mr. Sakata Kintoki, the retainer of the Genji family. I have seen this face several times in Mr. Daochang's mansion."

Soon, the group was led by a servant and saw Murasaki Shikibu in the hall with long black hair and a paper fan in her hand. She seemed to have come in a hurry. Although there was nothing wrong with her clothes, her breathing was a little short.

"Oh, I thought this was our first meeting, but I didn't expect that we had passed each other at the residence of His Excellency Minister Zuo. That was really rude." Sakata Kintoki is indeed a warrior, and he didn't even notice a beauty like Murasaki Shikibu.

"No, well, that's not the problem." Murasaki Shikibu frowned, as if he was struggling with something. After hesitating for a while, he continued to speak: "It's so late at night, I don't know why Lord Kintoki came here. Where is the humble house? Could it be that something happened to Xiangzi in the palace?"

At the end of the sentence, Xiangzi looked very nervous. After all, one of the four heavenly kings, Yorimitsu, came to her in the middle of the night. No matter how he looked at it, there must be something important. If it were any other time, Murasaki Shikibu wouldn't have It will be so nervous, but who said now is a special period.

"Don't worry, you didn't make any mistakes, Mr. Murasaki Shikibu." Kintoki came to his senses at this time and immediately opened his mouth to explain their situation.

"Well, this name is the name I used when I was writing. Can you please call me Xiangzi?" When it comes to the name Murasaki Shikibu, Murasaki Shikibu seems a little shy. After all, although she is already writing The Tale of Genji at this time, she is not yet The famous Murasaki Shikibu in later generations.

"I'm not here to prosecute someone for violating the rules, or to interrogate or anything like that. Instead, I'm here to ask for your help. Soan asked me to take her to say hello to you." Sakata Kintoki said the words Kiyoko left before she left.

"Soan." After hearing Sakata Kintoki's words, Murasaki Shikibu didn't seem to react for a moment, and repeated these two words with a confused look on his face. However, after a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and shouted in a panic.

"Cao'an, mentioning Cao'an, does it mean that Lord Qingshao Nayan said hello to me? No, although I have never met that gentleman in the palace, let alone talked with him, so that's the case."

Murasaki Shikibu's expression changed several times in an instant, from panic to excitement, and finally he seemed to have remembered something and finally regained his composure.

"In that case, I wonder if Mr. Kintoki needs help with anything."

"That's actually true."

Kintoki immediately gave an overview of his current situation. If he were alone, he would not come to Murasaki Shikibu for help even if there was help from Kiyoko. But who knows, now that there are more Mashu and Ritsuka, Musashi, Shen Fei and others, Mashu and Ritsuka had already roughly told him about the situation on the way. Although Kintoki did not fully understand, they also knew that the group of people were guests from tomorrow's tomorrow. Since they were guests, Then we can't let our guests live on the streets like him.

"I see. I understand. I will arrange rooms for the guests. If there are female guests, then there will be two rooms." Murasaki Shikibu looked at the group of people and hesitated as to how many rooms they should arrange.

"Thank you very much." Li Xiang immediately stepped forward to express his thanks, and a servant immediately took them to the room.

In the original work, Mash didn't come with him. The servant who followed Ritsuka was Kato Danzo. Because he wanted to protect Ritsuka, he had to share a room with him, and then Kintoki also shared a room, so Murasaki Shikibu watched the three of them. People's eyes are very subtle. After all, Duan Zang is a ninja and wears tight clothes. Although Duan Zang is a machine doll, to people who don't know, he is a normal human being.

"Aren't you going to see Miss Yorimitsu Kintoki?" In the room where Ritsuka and others were staying, the group did not go to rest immediately, but gathered to discuss the current situation. Ritsuka wanted to see Minamoto Yorimitsu through Kintoki. , to find limbo Ashiya Michitoshi in Heian Kyo, you will definitely need to rely on local forces. Considering the relationship between the heroic spirits Gen Yorimitsu and Ritsuka, as well as the power of the Gen family in Heian Kyo, it is naturally the most convenient to find her.

"Even after listening to your whimsical words, that adult is broad-minded enough to accept them. Her abilities are originally different from those of ordinary warriors, but that's not the case now. Boss Laiguang has been acting weird recently, starting from the Holy Grail War in Tianlan. From that day on, she has been staying deep in the mansion and has not even appeared when Brother Tsuna defeated Brother Usui and Brother Bubu."

Sakata Kintoki talked about the situation of Minamoto Yorimitsu, and also expressed his speculation, that is, Minamoto Yorimitsu may also be one of the masters of the Tengan Holy Grail War. He did not appear to avoid people discovering him. The command spell on the left hand.

"Okay, there are seven people in the Holy Grail War, and Genji occupies five positions." Minamoto no Yorimitsu and the four kings under him are all masters. After discussion, it can be digested internally. However, judging from the current situation, Genji The five people obviously did not discuss it. Watanabe Tsuna took action directly and sent away the other two magician followers of the Heavenly King.

At the same time, the other two heavenly kings were also seriously injured and were sent to a hot spring in the mountains outside Heianjing for treatment and recuperation.

"Finally I have contacted you." At this moment, Da Vinci's voice suddenly sounded next to Mashu, and then his holographic image appeared aside.

"What is this, an evil spirit? Something seems wrong. I seem to have seen this thing before. Is it your magic or Onmyoji?" The sudden image did not surprise Sakata Kintoki on the side.

"It's really surprising that there was image transmission communication technology in the Heian Era." Holmes' figure appeared in the image, and it was obvious that he had just heard Sakata Kintoki's words.

"It should be done using Yin Yang magic." Shen Fei muttered in his heart. The technology in the Moon World is very magical, especially in the world of magic. It can do many things that cannot be done by current technology. Of course, this It refers to pure technology.

For example, Chaldea was created through the combination of magic and technology. The Nezha doll found by the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty was actually a kind of technology.

"I am Sherlock Holmes, Kintoki Sakata, please give me some advice." Holmes and Leonardo da Vinci began to introduce themselves to Kintoki Sakata.

"It seems that you also know me, I'm really awesome." Sakata Kintoki looked at Holmes and suddenly said with emotion. In his opinion, the image of Holmes looked very similar to Abe Seimei.

"How is the situation now?" Da Vinci asked immediately.

"We know this from Mr. Kintoki." Mashu and Ritsuka immediately gave an overview of what they encountered when they came to Heian Kyo, focusing on the Tengan Holy Grail War.

"Is all the magician's Holy Grail War summoned? It's really a bold attempt to further reduce the scale of the Holy Grail War. Such an existence is simply not enough to become a universal wishing machine." Da Vinci knew the Holy Grail War very well. But even she had never thought of using a single job agency in the Holy Grail War.

"Maybe it's not enough to be a universal wishing machine, but what if it only has a single function." Holmes asked rhetorically.

"If that's the case, it should be feasible. If it's just a single function, just to achieve a certain purpose, then even if the magic power is not balanced at the key point, it can still be done." The different job introductions in the Holy Grail War are the needs of the ritual, but not Can be changed at will.

"The Almighty is sure that the thing called the Heavenly Grail War is a ritual held to achieve a specific goal, so what is the purpose? I personally think it is to change the world."

"Does it mean changing the world as you wish?" Musashi asked.

"Yes, Ms. Musashi, I think you should still remember what happened in the main country, where limbo Ashiya Michizumi used several heroic spirits and a large number of human souls to hold a grand ceremony. The result of the ceremony was called The abnormal state of the subspecies Lostbelt."

"The Isolated Earth City in the Lower Mainland is already equivalent to the Fantasy Tree in the Lostbelt."

On the stage of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood, in the Lower Main Kingdom, the appearance of the Dirty Land City there was unknown at the time. However, after experiencing the Lost Belt, Chaldea immediately discovered that it was very similar to the Fantasy Tree. , it can be called a subspecies fantasy tree.

"limbo may want to create a similar situation in Heian Jing, but I don't understand what his purpose is." Under the circumstances that the alien god has arrived, Ashiya Michitsu may also want to create this special point The reason why it became a Lost Belt was beyond Leonardo da Vinci's imagination.

"Perhaps he wants to bring the alien god to a peaceful era." Holmes said after a brief silence.

"But hasn't the Alien God already arrived?" Mashu immediately asked.

"That's right. Since the manifestation has been completed on Olympus, there should be no more containers that need to come. As for preparing containers, for an existence of that scale, there should be no need." Even for Holmes. Bian also doesn't understand the purpose of limbo.

"As I said just now, only the magician's spiritual base will experience an imbalance of magic power. The spell itself will have flaws. I feel like there are some mechanisms inside, or is it just a pure act of finding trouble." Da Vinci said as he spoke. The image suddenly flickered for a moment, then began to blur.

"Has the communication been discovered, or has our speculation been close to his goal, so we are now obstructing it. In short, we must stop the ceremony of the Tenran Holy Grail War no matter what. Otherwise, once all the heroes are lost, it may be like the former Shimousuke, and a new subspecies of the Fantasy Tree will be produced, causing the same tragedy. In addition, in this way, Heian-kyō will become a singularity and a Lostbelt, which is a double threat to pan-human history."

Holmes unconsciously raised his voice at the end, and before he finished speaking, the holographic image disappeared immediately, and the communication was blocked.

"What is the situation of Shimousuke?" After the communication was disconnected, Sakata Kintoki immediately asked. He had never heard of this term, which was natural, after all, Shimousuke had not appeared in this era.

"That is." Ritsuka then roughly described the situation of the Shimousuke singularity.

"Isn't this evil? If so, we must stop them."

"The question is how to stop it. We don't have any evidence now. Those bigwigs will definitely not believe it." Musashi said. As a wandering samurai, she knew the thoughts of those bigwigs of the country very well. Sakata Kintoki believed in them, but it didn't mean that others would believe them. Especially for the bigwigs of this country, the wish of a thousand years of Heian-kyō was enough to make them ignore some of the threats.

If they had enough evidence, it would be easy to say, but the problem is that they didn't. If they said they came from the future without any evidence, only Sakata Kintoki could believe it without reservation.

"First of all, we have to confirm one thing, that is, whether Ashiya Doman here is limbo. It's a pity that Ampere Haruaki is not here, otherwise things would be much simpler." Shen Fei suddenly said.

Ampere Haruaki has a very high reputation in Heian-kyō. The reason why the Tenlan Holy Grail War here can start so quickly is that it is said that it was the ceremony designed by Ampere Haruaki, but he seems to have left Heian-kyō because of other things. Now Ashiya Doman is in charge of this aspect of Heian-kyō.

Even Shen Fei couldn't judge the situation of Ashiya Michiman. After all, this was the era when Ashiya Michiman was still alive. It was normal for him and Limbo to exist at the same time, just like Emiya Shirou and Hong A existed at the same time. Limbo was a heroic spirit.

There are two situations. Ashiya Michiman and Limbo are in the same group, or Limbo killed Ashiya Michiman and replaced him, but the problem is that it can't be confirmed.

In the face of this situation, the easiest way is undoubtedly to attack Ashiya Michiman to determine his situation, but unfortunately this method doesn't work here. First of all, Mashu and Ritsuka will not agree.

The second problem is that it is easy to push the officials of Heian-kyo, including the Genji clan, to the opposite side. After all, the current Ashiya Michiman is the great onmyoji in the palace and is valued by the left minister.

Every country has its own rules of conduct. It is not a good thing to break them rashly. What Mashu and Ritsuka have relied on all the way, and those who are righteous have many helpers.

"If you can find a way for me to meet Ashiya Doman, I should be able to confirm his identity." Musashi spoke up. She had dealt with Limbo many times and was very familiar with the stench on his body.

"It seems that I can only find a way to go to the palace to see him. Maybe I can ask her for help."

"Who?"

"Of course it's Her Excellency Kaori. She is a lady-in-waiting in the palace."

Sakata Kintoki said the person he wanted to ask for help. Even if he was one of the four great kings of Raiko, he had no right to enter and leave the palace. Murasaki Shikibu was different. She had a job in the palace.
